The New Compact Series Mixers by Lightnin offers great value. It
has the same high mixing performance as all of our mixers, but at an
affordable price.
With its simplified design, the Compact Series benefits from a reduced
foot print when you compare the gearbox against our other purpose
built agitator gearboxes for equal torque capacity. This reduced foot
print makes the unit easier to install and reduces the weight on your
support structure. Additionally, the design can accommodate either a
double or triple reduction without changing the casting, so no change of
foot print for change of speed in the same gearbox size. Reduced
weight and loads can help save money on support infrastructure.
Your mixing performance remains unchanged as you still have access to
the key Lightnin impellers that serve the target markets.
TARG ET MAR KETS:
The Mining and Water markets will predominantly use open tank mixers.
The Compact Series has feet integral to the casting for the gearbox,
adapter plates can be provided to fit your existing structures to help you
swap out older equipment.
Additionally, we have reduced the number of parts in the gearbox when
compared with the Series 10, this reduction in complexity also helps
simplify and reduces maintenance time.
A single mechanical seal is available as well as a simple lip seal, which
will be accommodated in a simple low height pedestal. These are
suitable for use in the general Chemical Process applications.

The new Compact Series is a much simplified construction. The
gearbox is a Lightnin design and built by Lightnin, so you still
benefit from a True Dry Well – a dry well that is cast integrally into
the gearbox, and is not an optional component that has an o’ring
seal at the base as offered in some gearboxes. True Dry Well
construction is critically important in the water industry and other
industries where the operator wants to ensure that gearbox
lubricant does not seep past shaft seals into the drinking water or
other products. Shaft oil seals on agitator drives can easily become
worn due to shaft deflection or perish in certain conditions such
that they can no longer perform there critical function – keeping
the lubricant in the gearbox.
With its design the Compact Series benefits from a reduced foot
print when you compare the gearbox against our other purpose
built agitator gearboxes for equal torque capacity. This reduced
foot print makes the unit easier to install and reduces the weight
on your support structure. We’ve also made the design
accommodate either a double or triple reduction without changing
the casting, so no change of foot print for change of speed in the
same gearbox size. Reduced weight and loads can help save cost
on support infrastructure.
The simple construction of the parallel shafts of the gearbox makes the Compact Series gearbox very quiet and it runs
smoothly. The temperature rise of the gearbox lubrication is also very low for gearboxes of this size, which helps for longer
lubricant life when compared to other drive configurations. You don’t need to re-grease bearings with our design; the
bearings are lubricated by the gear oil. One of our innovations in this area reduces the gear deflection due to the bending
load, which reduces the wear on the gears and helps provide that low noise and smooth running.
Local Legislation requirements can be met using the Compact Series; it is designed for global
use. The equipment is designed for OSHA, CE including ATEX, and global Efficiency standards
for motors. We’ll ensure that the motor fitted is the one that meets your voltage, frequency and
efficiency standard – whether you are in South America, South Africa, China, Australia or Europe.
IE3 is the minimum efficiency for safe area motors on the Compact Series.

Compact Series Product Features
INTEGRAL MOTOR PEDESTAL
Suits IEC Frame Flange motors. Has protective moisture trap to guard against moisture ingress. High strength and low deflection as it is cast with the gearbox top cover plate
HIGH SPEED GEAR & BEARING ASSEMBLY
Offers high ratio flexibility to offer multiple output ratios
LARGE OIL FILL & VISIBLE LEVEL MARKING
Easier oil filling with large opening and visible fill mark so you don’t need to keep stopping and using a dip stick to measure fill
IEC ELECTRIC MOTOR
Suits Regional Voltage Requirements (380, 400, etc.) Flange mounted, V1 IE3 EfficiencySafe area or ATEX (up to 2G llc T4) Unit can be provided without motor (requires shipping plate to protect the gearbox)
SHAFT SPEED SENSOR (OPTIONAL)
Intrinsically Safe shaft rotation sensor fitting location established. Sensor comes with 1.8m lead for connection to customer’s controls
BEARING HOUSINGS
Rigid cast bearing locations minimize gearbox deflection helping to improve bearing and gear life
DIRECT MOUNTING
Cast into the gearbox housing are feet for direct mounting to beams or other superstructure
GEARBOX HOUSING
Single piece gearbox casting can accomodate double or triple reduction ratios without changing size. Split line of the gearbox is at the top, well above the oil level, this helps prevent oil leakage
HIGH STRENGTH SHAFT COUPLING
Our high strength can shaft coupling can accommodate very high bending moments, making the Compact Series very strong for its size
FLANGE & PEDESTAL MOUNTING
(OPTIONAL)
Cast mounting pedestals are available to elevate the gearbox if required, this can help customers drain oil directly into a 20L bucket
Additionally, the pedestal can accommodate our NEW SPX FLOW mechanical seal, or our face seals
Flanges are available in ANSI, DIN, or HG/T dimensions. Where provided flanges incorporate a shaft catcher to hold the shaft during maintenance where the gearbox is removed
TRUE DRY WELL
The True Dry Well is cast into the gearbox housing, removing lower shaft bearing shields, labyrinths and lips seals that can perish or wear; this effectively eliminates the risk of oil leakage down the mixer shaft into customers’ product.
HIGH QUALITY HELICAL GEARS
Designed to AGMA Quality 10. The gear quality and the innovative design lead to a very low noise gearbox. Gear deflection is minimised by our patented design which extends the life of the gears and the bearings

We continue to develop our global manufacturing
footprint by adding capacity to our Xidu operation in
Shanghai, China. Projects undertaken so far building
upon our Series 10 ability, have included
70 Series localization, in house shaft and impeller
welding operations and impeller blade forming.
With the Compact Series project, we have invested in
the machine tools to produce shafts in our facility in
China. The key production tooling we have added in our
facility are:
• Long bed lathe for shaft production
• Horizontal Machining Center
• CNC Turning Center
• Shaft Straightening Press
• Key Cutter and Wheel Mill
By adding this capability to our extensive exiting SPX
FLOW operation, we produce Compact and our other
Lightnin Series 10 and 70 Series mixer products, which
enables us to meet market delivery expectations with a
high quality product.
The new machines and the dedication of factory space to
our Mixer products is a significant investment in our
manufacturing capability globally and within the APAC
region. Our capable supply chain and logistic team
already transact business on supporting our global
operations, making this a benefit for all our customers.
Manufacturing
Quality Control
Investing in quality is investing in our future. Our
investment in machine tools allows SPX FLOW to
control all of the elements of production to ensure we
can deliver our high quality product on time to our
customers.
Recent investments include in house certified welding
operations, blade pressing tools and gearbox
assembly tooling. Additionally in preparation for shaft
manufacture, we have invested in our own shaft
checking and straightening tools.
The existing QA team in China has received training
from our operations team in Rochester, NY so that
they have seen for themselves our QA and finish
expectations at our brands’ home.
Our SPX FLOW facility in China is ISO9001:2015
certified as well as ISO14000 and ISO18000
certified.
